Workflow Select

Several workflows are implemented and can be selected in the drop-down list:

  • Charter: This is the default workflow. It includes all steps from Quote, Accept, Owner (if applicable), Sign, Book, Confirm, Manifest to Invoice.
  • Sub-charter: Use for subchartering aircraft. Flight times and prices are not calculated and have to be set manually. Accept and Owner are not mandatory for this workflow so that the flight can directly be Booked.
  • Owner: Use for owner-flights. Quote and Accept are not necessary, the flight can directly be Booked.
  • Private: Create a Booking of Private Flights (= Private AOC)
  • Scheduled: It enables user to setup a repetitive schedule within the booking.
  • Ambulance: it differentiates the passenger and the patient. It allows assigning medical crew to the flight.
  • Maintenance: Use to create a Maintenance Event. Positioning To and From the maintenance airport can be created. AOG time can be set with the “AOG” checkbox.
  • Charter Cargo: cargo weight (Lb/ Kg) can be entered. If no cargo weight is entered, FL3XX will handle the leg as a positioning leg.
  • Cargo Scheduled: It enables user to setup a repetitive cargo flight within the booking.
  • Training: Create Training Flights
